Paul Hogan's wayward son Chance puffs on a cigarette and channels his famous father's Crocodile Dundee character in outback-style at Sydney Airport en route to the US

Chance Hogan was spotted rocking a bizarre Crocodile Dundee inspired look on Friday as he wandered through Sydney Airport following a very brief visit to Australia.

The son of Paul Hogan, who made it big in the '80s as the character Mick Dundee, jetted Down Under to support his famous father's screening of the classic flick. 

It seems the 27-year-old took some fashion pointers from the outback adventure movie, which was recently re-edited for a more modern audience. 

Chance turned heads as he stepped out in public wearing a stacked hat ensemble, sporting a wide brimmed straw hat with a leather one placed on top it for good measure. 

He secured the larger accessory to his head with the drawstring attached to it, but balanced the leather cap precariously atop it.

The leather hat looked almost identical to the black Akubra hat his father wore as Crocodile Dundee in the '80s. 

Chance opted for a more 2000s vibe when putting together the rest of his outfit, slipping on a Rage Against The Machine T-shirt and grey skinny jeans.

He topped it off with an acid wash jean jacket and black Vans with the shoelaces untied, as he pushed his bright purple suitcase through the airport. 

Preparing for a long haul flight back home to America, Chance stopped just outside to enjoy a cigarette before checking his luggage and boarding his flight. 

Chance appeared to be wearing the same clothes he wore to the Crocodile Dundee: Encore Cut screening at the Royal Botanic Gardens on Thursday evening. 

He stepped out with his father Paul, 85, in a rare appearance to celebrate the rehash of the cult classic, which premiered at the OpenAir Cinema. 

Chance avoided the red carpet at the star-studded event, but was spotted enjoying a few drinks in the gardens as he interacted with the local wildlife.

He was spotted avidly chatting away to Australia's iconic bin chickens—also known as the white ibis.

Notorious for stealing food from unsuspecting passersby, Chance shielded his snacks from the brazen bird and flashed it a smile when it failed to leave him alone.

Chance, who has made headlines for his erratic behaviour in recent years, then started a rather animated conversation with the bin chicken.

Paul's visit back to his home country of Australia comes after he expressed a desire to move back Down Under following Venice Beach's downward turn.

The Los Angeles neighbourhood has seen soaring crime rates and a rise in homelessness in recent years. 

In October 2022, Paul confessed he was homesick and said the only thing keeping him from returning Down Under was his youngest son.

Describing Chance as American, not an Australian, he told Sydney's Daily Telegraph newspaper: 'The only family [Chance has got] is me.' 

Chance has made headlines for his erratic behaviour in recent years, but Paul recently dismissed widespread fears for his son.

In November, troubling photos emerged of Chance buying beer and shuffling around Venice Beach back alleys, before sparking concern with his bizarre online videos. 

However, when DailyMail.com caught up with Paul while he ran errands in Los Angeles last month, the father-of-six said there was nothing to be concerned about.

Asked if he was worried about Chance, Paul shook his head casually and smiled before replying: 'Nah.'

'No. It's a lot of made up stuff and a lot of it he [Chance] does on purpose,' he added.

The movie legend, who's originally from Sydney, left his home country behind following the success of the 1986 action-comedy film Crocodile Dundee. 

He made the move to settle with his second wife, Linda Kozlowski, in Los Angeles in the '90s.

When asked if he would like to return to his Aussie homeland, he said: 'Oh yeah. One of these days.' 

He then added, referring to his son: 'If he'll come.' 

Chance is Paul's only son with his ex-wife and former co-star Linda, 67, and he has been living in LA since his parents' divorce in 2014 after 24 years of marriage.

Sparks famously flew between Paul and Linda on-set in the Australian Outback, while the Aussie was still married to wife Noelene Edwards.

The couple went on to tie the knot in 1990 and welcomed Chance eight years later before divorcing in 2014.  

Paul and his first wife, Noelene, married in 1958 but separated and divorced in 1981. They share five children—Brett, Clay, Scott, Todd and Lauren.
